My mom, daughter, and I dined here last night, and it was wonderful! It is a very kid friendly atmosphere and the food was delicious!

This joint is your typical dive seafood spot (read: fresh catches, shellfish, and fried stuff with a burger or two). They are decently priced and have a good beer/wine selection. They lose a star as a dive, strip mall, seafood, bar because they can't figure out how to cook their crab legs. I've had them thrice now, and every time they over cook them. Which sounds pretentious of me to expect from a dive bar except... 1.) They are a seafood joint. 2.) If you overcook snowcrab, the crab leg shells no longer "crack" but they "crush", which ruines the meat and takes forever to eat your meal.
They would be 5 star for me if they would either just remove the crab legs from their menu, learn how to cook them, or use a different crab.
They would be 3 star except the prices are decent. Get what ya pay for yknow?
Go the low country boil.

I was craving seafood and stopped into Surf n Brew. It was absolutely delicious and the waitress Pat was very helpful. People like her is why I love WNC!
Our first time at a restaurant since Helene hit. We live in Swannanoa and this was a treat. Surf N Brew is always good but today was extra special. They even had clam Wednesday! Sierra was an awesome server. We are so glad to see them open again.

Great seafood. Great service. Cool atmosphere ?. Great price. ?. Staying at the Rutledge RV Park down the road. We were looking for something local and saw this place called to make sure they could accommodate a shellfish allergy and they could. ? we will definitely be back the next time we're in the area.
Party of 4. Everything was outstanding. Food and services was excellent. Will definitely recommend this place. Thank ya'll for everything.

Absolutely awesome seafood experience. We're used to great seafood (florida locals), and this was amazing! We had the cod dinner with a side of scallops and were extremely pleased. Only issue was that we were sitting next to the exterior patio door which was constantly used and made a loud bang every time. But the quality of food made that issue not a big deal.
